(Closed) I ordered the cake without a tasting — like a BOSS. What have you half-assed?

Last week, I walked into Publix at random after work and ordered a 3-tier square cake. I totally put forth a half-assed effort and didn’t even book a tasting. I chose my tiers as: 1) Chocolate + german chocolate filling, 2) marble + rum pecan, and 3) vanilla + raspberry.

In and out in 20 minutes. The Publix lady said it was the easiest wedding cake she’s ever worked on.

I felt like I had beaten the system of going around to 20 different bakeries and walked out like a BOSS.

When choosing our liquor selections we just walked around the grocery store, making a list of items. We dont really like red wine so we chose the ones that were almost gone to go on the list and when asked if we had an alternative list if they cant source some we just told them to suprise us. I think they were a bit shocked and we were gone in 30 minutes.

Ha, awesome! I’m taking the same approach to our cake and want to order with Publix, too! If you don’t mind saying, I’m also curious how much it cost. And did you ask for anything specific in regard to the look/frosting? It’s not high on my list of priorities, but I do have a ‘vision’ and have no idea how much customization they can do!

Hahaha I love this!! We have done one tasting, Fiance and I were driving and I commented “Ok great lets go ahead with her” my Fiance said “really? I wanted to eat more cake”…I find a lot of places in my city charge for tastings and this lady didn’t and we were happy so I wanna go ahead!

We didn’t do a tasting for any of our food. I mean really, who’s got the time (and calories to spare) for all that? We ordered the menu and called it a day. To be fair, we had eaten food from all of our vendors, but not specifically what was offered on our day (our lunch menu wasn’t even finalized until 9 days before the wedding.) Whatever, it was fine!

@lovecacti: the dj…really didn’t want a dj, but we found someone who offered to do it for the same price as a new 60gb iPod and threw in some party lights for free. I mean…. A crappy dj is better than no dj? Lol

Aw man, we did our tasting yesterday and it was actually super fun. And we had leftover cupcakes for breakfast this morning. 🙂 I guess I did my dress like a BOSS. I had to go by myself. I went to David’s Bridal, tried on three dresses, then mentioned a dress I had liked for years online to the consultant. She went and got it for me. I tried it on and loved it, bought it, a veil, and a headpiece. And I was just getting over the flu when I did it. LOL. I don’t have any dress regret, either.

Probably my favours…. Decided to do jams cause I wanted something practical. I looked up the flavour list online and had my fiance pick one he thought sounded good. Called the factory and ordered 75 of my favorite flavour, 75 of what he liked. Ready the next day, picked them up and now they’re done. Took 10 minutes to decide what to give, what flavours and make a phone call. Doesn’t get much quicker and easier than that.
